entitled “The Unit” 2850 , as well as by a large number of documents establishing the presence<br />

of Unit members at the camp. Based on the foregoing, the Trial Chamber finds that in<br />

September 1991, Unit members travelled from the Korenica camp to the DB building in<br />

Belgrade, where Franko Simatović told them that they would function as trainers in camps<br />

and that they were to establish a camp at Fruška Gora. Jovica Stanišić briefly stopped by<br />

during this meeting. Following the meeting, between 15 and <strong>30</strong> members of the Unit<br />

established the Ležimir camp at Mt. Fruška Gora, near Novi Sad on the Serbian side of the<br />

border between Serbia and Croatia. Živojin Ivanović (a.k.a. Žika, Crnogorac) commanded the<br />

Unit at this camp. Between September 1991 and March 1992, the following Unit members 2851<br />

were present at the Ležimir camp at Fruška Gora: Dragan Filipović (Major Fićo), Dušan<br />

(Dule) Orlović, Zoran Raić, Witness JF-031, Saša Medaković, Milan Andić, Radojica<br />

Božović, Davor Subotić (Riki), Borjan Vučković (Boki), Ilija Vučković (Rambo), Dragan<br />

Olujić, Nikola Simić (Cigo), Nikola Pupavac, Nikola Pilipović, Radomir Rasković, Neven<br />

Laka, Milenko Popović, and Damir Vladić (Glina). At Ležimir, Unit members wore red berets<br />

and, from at least mid-1992, wore Grey Wolf patches featuring a brown wolf on a black<br />

background with a Serbian flag.<br />

1489. Stanišić and Simatović visited the camp on at least two occasions, including in<br />

September and October 1991, and told the Unit members they would act as instructors or<br />

trainers and would conduct anti-terrorist operations (as opposed to military operations).<br />

Simatović told Unit members that they should accept orders from nobody but himself or<br />

Stanišić, and Stanišić told them that the Unit would not be moved to the army, but would be<br />

staying with him. In view of these statements and recalling its prior findings that the Accused<br />

had directed and organized the formation of the Unit, 2852 as well as other evidence reviewed<br />

above, 2853 the Trial Chamber finds that, from at least September 1991, the Accused were in<br />

command of the Unit and controlled its deployment and training activities through leading<br />

Unit members, such as Ivanović, who acted on behalf of the Accused and were immediately<br />

subordinate to them.<br />

2850 In evidence as exhibits P61 and P2976 respectively.<br />

2851 The Trial Chamber recalls its findings in chapter 6.3.2 in relation to the Golubić camp, in which it<br />

established that these persons were members of the Unit.<br />

2852 See chapter 6.3.2.<br />

2853 The evidence of Witness JF-031, as well as the requests for operative checks signed by Stanišić (in evidence<br />

as parts of exhibits D457, P473, P3199, P179, and P3185).<br />
